Selling Car
Hello - I need some advice.
I've got a 04 Punto with low mileage which I'm looking to change within the next 6 months.
I also need a major knee op which is going to put me out of action for approx 6 months.
Should I sell my current car prior to the op and pop the money in the bank til I'm back on my feet - also saving tax and insurance or should I keep it to trade in for a newer car and accept the depreciation.
I'm a bit worried about selling the car privately but also not sure about using somewhere like webuyanycar.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
TIA
Kathryn

the depreciation on an almost 6 year old punto will be negligable....work permit granted!0

Read the threads on webuyanycar.com on this forum. Quick summary - do NOT use them! (Unless you want to sell the car at any price and will be happy when they nit pick and offer much less than they valued the car at).

You could go through a cashback site to Vivastreet.co.uk and get your motor advertised free! Vivastreet also let you put loads of photos on your ad for free...I put a couple of ads on there a while back and are getting £1.60 CB (eventually).;)
I recommend Topcashback or Fatcheese.co.uk0
